The other definition is not correct. A hypotenuse stands out in a crowd; not because she's pretty, but just because she stands out. It's usually because she's just weird. A hypotenuse girl is attractive enough to hook up with, but she is NOT attractive enough to brag about or tell your friends. Typically, hypotenuse girls listen to industrial music such as Tool, Nine Inch Nails, HIM, Alice In Chains, Korn, etc. Also, she may easily be found shopping for the ugliest articles in Hot Topic.

**Note: The original hypotenuse girl had a pointy chin that resembled the triangular term of hypotenuse.
